An automatic driving assist apparatus includes a traveling environment information acquiring unit, a map locator calculator, a traffic information acquiring unit, and a traveling controller. The traveling controller examines whether the map locator calculator sets a target travel path to a branch lane direction from a main lane, examines whether a lane restricted section is set before an entrance of a main lane continuing to a branch lane, based on information obtained by the traveling environment information acquiring unit and road traffic information obtained by the traffic information acquiring unit, and examines whether traffic jam from the branch lane extends to the main lane. When the target travel path is set to the branch lane direction and the lane restricted section is set before the entrance of the main lane, the own vehicle is made to change the lane to an adjacent lane before the lane restricted section starts.
